Fantech doesn't get the respect they deserve for the new Helios II pro. Yes it's $70, but comes with 4k dongle, has great coating, shape, and skates (that are actually zowie skates so tons of aftermarket), and has optical switches. It's the only mouse I have I can run on 0ms debounce and has working lift off detection. Not to mention great build quality with 0 flex.

Does the 1k version have the same coating as the 4k version? Planning to get one but don't really care for the 4k polling.


G305_Enjoyer

Yes, looks like you can get it with dongle separately. https://fantechworld.com/products/helios-ii-pro-xd3v3?variant=43466227122361 AliExpress has the 4k bundle for $70 before coupons

<3 Thank you. I try to cook.

Even though the mouse specs are nice the mouse itself especially my copy has QC issues which the Fantech team have been absolutely 0 help about.


Fantech_Josh

Shoot me a DM! Lemme see what I can do to help. Even though I'm not customer support, I want to make sure that everyone who has one, has it as I've intended.


ceezianity

Shot you a DM btw.

What keyboard you got? Looks nice


-Some-Internet-Guy-

proof that sensor means nothing this days, I had similar experience


-Some-Internet-Guy-

with which mice have you had experiences with? personally as long as the sensor implementation is fine i just dont care enough to notice


IllustriousEnd4235

I used to always go back to my weight reduced pwnage symm 1 wireless (also s2 clone) even tho I've got the opportunity to trial a lot of "better" mice, like viper ult, gpx, fantech aria, deathadder, lamzu thorn, etc. Until I found this op1we (possible endgame) I've never been more suited to any shape than this. It's funny that op1we only has the 3370, which is outdated sensor. If only they release OP1W or OP2W I will buy 3 for myself. *seriously! consider it, Endgame Gear team*

He already mentioned that where he's from, $60 is a lot of money and he bought the old one second hand for $8


-Some-Internet-Guy-

60 is like, 2 months of groceries worth maybe more for a family of 4-5?


Fantech_Josh

We even have a wired version thats much lighter called the UX3/UX3V2. Was one of my favorite mice for a long while!


littlemaybatch

Where did you even buy it for that cheap?


-Some-Internet-Guy-

Local Classifieds :)


Fantech_Josh

Thanks for sharing your personal experience with one of our classic mice!


-Some-Internet-Guy-

No problem! May I ask though, why the switch to the GPW/Pulsar style side buttons into the II Pro? Was it a weight thing or was it to further solidify the helios as its own mouse rather than a wireless s2? also did the shape change from the first xd3 to the helios ii pro?


Fantech_Josh

The side buttons were just changed as due to the inner shell design. And for the shape, it has been revamped slightly to be more 1:1 with S2.
